Forget the webinar (gotta love English, it's so flexible), how much for a mobo/CPU combo? |

The Cray or the Opteron 6100? newegg.com has a barebones server for $899. I may be getting one at some point. |

Bigg, that's without CPUs. I agree, it's a very nice start, though. A 1-U with dual 12-core, in the immortal words of Neo, "Whoa." I built myself a TV cabinet to hold all the dvds and whatnot, and put my can't-run-decent-video 1GHz server in it. If only I'd given it some thought, I would have made sure that the middle cabinet was 19" wide and installed rack-mount brackets for just such an occasion. Oh well, a good excuse for building another one! |

> Bigg, that's without CPUs. I haven't seen the CPU for sale. AMD pricing starts at $744, so retail will be somewhat more, but that's not bad for 12 cores. It's really not bad if your employer buys it for you. |
